I Went into the Forest to Learn about a Modern Style PREFAB HOME and it was worth the Trek!

- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- I went deep into the forest to learn more about a popular prefab home. There are a lot of prefab homes options available but very few grow their own wood, this might be the only one. Masaya Homes is building ADUs with reforest teak grown in Nicaragua and shipping them to the United States. In this video I learn more about the process and what it actually looks like in real life. Watch and learn more about Masaya Homes.

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!! YOU went to NICARAGUA!!!??? WOW!!! Thank you!!!
Yeah! Just on my way home now. Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
I love that they are replanting Teak and build with Teak, it's a fantastic product. Now if we can get Honduras and South America to replant Mahogany, that would be incredible.
Yo, that deserves applause all around I feel, most impressive!!
So many of these comments are negative regarding the price or that the project isn't the 'perfect' environmental solution, blah, blah, blah. Social media allows us all to voice our opinions. But how about we stop the navel-gazing, what-about-me BS and appreciate the hard work this company is doing and Kerry's efforts to bring us all a variety of quality content? If this project isn't for you, MOVE on.
Well said! 💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is exactly the type of project that Nicaragua needs. I was in the Matagalpa region in 2009 - the deforestation for coffee and cattle was horrific, with serious negative repercussion for the people due to soil depletion and the hazards of mudslides during the rainy season. Bravo to them for their mission, and thank you for highlighting them!
100%! Thanks for tuning in 😃
Fantastic video… I love that it was entertaining and educational… Also, Nicaragua is incredibly beautiful.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Very beautiful
Kerry this was fantastic! The location! Wow! Plus the information and eco responsibility by Masaya Homes is great! Reforesting and maintaining ! I planted 90K trees in Northern Ontario, in 2001 to reforest an area burned in a forest fire!
Incredible! The lengths you go to!! Very impressive! You have entered the Master class of Tiny Home presenters!! I'm going to call you my Tiny Home Sensei!! I now am a registered participant of Kerry's Tiny Home Dojo. Class #1: barbed wire, what barbed wire?
Hahaha! Thank you 😃🥋
WOW, excellent video man! The homes are lovely and the teak is definitely a classy touch!
Thanks Philip! Appreciate the feedback, bit of a different format
Wow! These are gorgeous!🌿
Wow first comment 🥇
Wow! This is definitely a cut above even your most adventurous postings! I am so impressed that you went to Nicaragua and bothered to get the backstory on these housing projects. Thank you for your amazing work!
Thanks Rebecca, appreciate that
Ooh Teak! This is different. Very chic and environmentally responsible! Love it!
Thanks Jenn!
Kerry, I really love how your videos are getting more in depth. You and your team are doing an excellent job not just touring a home, but providing history and sharing the missions or goals of the builders. I really don’t know which I am more impressed by, the gel that holds your hair up even in the Nicaragua forest or the great videos you are presenting.
Thanks Robert! I have been trying to improve the videos so thank you for noticing. Haha yes the gel is a nice product 😆
Great update on a very interesting product. And love learning about the sustainability of the forest as well as the carbon footprint. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for tuning in Leo
Try putting sheep on planted areas, they clear all rhe grasses and never touch the trees. Very concientious eaters!
Such beautiful homes!
And country! ❤❤❤❤❤
Interesting! Very beautiful area 😃
You go on the best adventures!! 👏👏👏 Thank you for making such an insightful video. Their destination display home idea sounds wonderful 👌
Thanks for watching! Yeah I like the idea too
Hi Kerry would you please link the vid to your showing of these homes ..thank you❤
Its so great to see you out getting raw footage of the teak forest and surrounding areas!
Awesome,even enjoyed the wind blowing conversation interference... doggy: shush!👍🏻
👏🏻👏🏻😁🥶🖤🔔👍🏻🥰
Thank you! Haha no kidding 🐶
A Canadian walks through a Nicaraguan tree pantation in JULY and asks "Am I the only guy sweating? :D :D :D Great video and i am so glad you revisited Messiah Homes. I love that they do the furniture too. Teak is a great water-resistant wood. Perfect fit for any region with unusually more frequent rain and generally more wet weather than usual. Less maintenance.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. I was cookin 😅
@@KerryTarnow I enjoyed the joke. Hiking through air like a steaming hot sponge is miserable. But you left the clip in. So, comedy. Have a better day, dude.Take two, they're small. : )
Great content on prefab homes, and now social, eco forward thinking stuff -- You're ripping it up, there Kerry! TY!
Thanks so much!
I am glad you went back to this company; I believe this is good business practice. I liked the homes and would be interested in future posts about this company, thank you for traveling the world to bring us the best! 🌹
My pleasure, I have more coming from them
Such a cool company- I love how much thought & care goes into the process from seed to finished house. Well worth the $ for folks who can afford it 💜
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching
This was really interesting. Thanks, Kerry.
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching Julie 😃
What a great video! What a trip you took for the people who watch your channel. This has to be expensive to do, but so good for the environment. The house is very cool looking too!
Thanks Bill! Glad you enjoyed the video
Thank You for the filed trip. Oops! sorry for the fall
Haha!
Very cool! I love the concept and would love to see this sort of thing in larger scale. Good for the environment, good for their economy, and good for the home-buyer. Sounds like a win-win-win to me!
Exactly! Thanks for watching
Love this Kerry, Love you for having such a mind and interest in the things you ask about as well as the people who are looking to buy and the people who make the products and the environment as well. Huge thank you and appreciation to you to the makers of these homes and the land/trees and forestry involved.
Thanks Marian, appreciate you tuning in 😃
@@KerryTarnow ALWAYS...gladly
This is probably one of your best episodes. The deep dive into the backstory you should do more of these.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. It was a bit different than my usual program so I am happy to hear you enjoyed it
Very educational and exciting but where are we going to keep the chinchillas?
Thank you! Didn’t see any but did spot one monkey
@@KerryTarnow Monkeys are adorbs too. I'm good with monkeys... but can we have them inside the house?
Very interesting !
Did you manage to find your way out of the teak forest or did you broadcast from there ?
If you want us to send help give the universal sign and we will call someone.
Haha yeah I made it out. On my way back to Canada now
@@KerryTarnow
It should be easy enough to find, just keep heading north.
I LIKE !!!😊
Thanks 🙌🏼
Very cool. Would love to know where the home in Portland is and their all-in cost. I wonder if it's an airbnb.
Me too! I’m going to have to get a kit home b/c I can’t use a crane.
Too cool and interesting Kerry !!
Glad you enjoyed it AC! It was cool to see what they’re up to in person.
@@KerryTarnow What an incredible adventure to be sure 🥰!
wow Kerry, this is awesome, thank you
Glad you like it!
Great video, Kerry! I look forward to your most recent uploads and this one really was very informative and the product is very exciting. Thank you for your dedication to honest, informative content!
Hi Renee, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Great concept,mahalo
Thanks!
Awesome 👍 This is the best 💯
Thank you 🙌
Aram & his team do great work here in Nicaragua. The deforestation problem in Nicaragua is real, and this is a great way to fight the problem.
I'm writing from a 250 lb. masaya & co desk right now, have owned it about 7 years - made out of native hardwood here in Nicaragua. Its definitely the best desk I've ever owned. Many here in Nicaragua that personally know Aram and his team know that they make incredible furniture and stand by their products.
I'm super excited to see the next chapter in their vision: the teak prefab homes. Hopefully we'll get one here in San Juan del Sur soon. And thanks Kerry, this video was awesome! Next time long sleeves and pants when you're deep in the jungle - I know it sounds crazy since its so friggin' hot, but the extra sweat is worth the protection from the jungle environment. ✌
Very interesting Kerry 👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
hahahahaha please don't show case me, funny lad.
Very exotic! We prefer adequate
Great video!
Thanks Kathleen
Excellent work presenting an outstandingly progressive company. You have renewed my faith in humanity being able to create a sustainable future 🙏🏽
Wow, thank you!
Thanks, Kerry! Interesting.
Thanks!
Nice write-off!!
You do a great job Kerry
Thanks!
Wow!!!
Thank you!
Love from N California!❤❤❤
Thanks Suk
The 800 SF model. After tax, foundation, utilities, septic..........this will be over 490.00/SF. You can build a decent stick built home for $250/SF in new england !!! All the "rainforest" hype doesn't help the housing crisis!!!!! At least Boxabl is on the right track!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ouch. I’m going to live in a shed on a garage probably.
My recommendation for fast tree growing. Generally, hemp seeds can take anywhere from 70 to 140 days to reach maturity, with some varieties taking longer then others. It is a mush better wood and also termite proof. It is a heather wood to build with. It is a fast growing tree. Check it out when you have time. South Louisiana, James ♏
Interesting, thanks!
I hope they paid for accommodations, that would of been a pretty expensive flight 😅

Love it.
Thanks
What animals eat grass but not teak trees?
Is it possible to introduce cattle into the 8 year growth plantations to manage the grass?
With only one species of tree being grown, is that truly a viable forest? Is there enough biodiversity among the one species of tree growing to provide food for any other plants and animals besides those that do best in teak forests? I’m originally from Florida and the planted pine forests there are a little thin on everything but pine needles.
They grow the teak so the can financially support and maintain Forest Reservations with native species. They only grow the Teak on de deforested areas.
What about using goats to clear around the trees?
Im not sure but it sounds like a good idea
Yes, their homes are beautiful, however they are very much on the expensive side for sure ($300k-445K) and you still have to buy the land. The only real benefit is the time to install it and the overall quality compared to a stick built house. Otherwise your are looking at $500k for a 2&1 unit!
What about those capsule homes that they’re selling now? Are those real?
COST FACTOR .... OUT WIEGHS THE.... How...KOOL FACTOR!!;!
TO DAMN MUCH.!!!!😮😮😂

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kerry great presentation however, here's a suggestion wear a baseball hat or bandana in order to keep the sweat out of your eyes & face.
Thank you! Yes, a hat would have be helpful 😅
Pricey
Thank you for the feedback
@@KerryTarnow it’s AMAZING, love the Teak. At the price, I’d be curious if you can buy direct in Nicaragua? Have you ever watched the film “Running with the Devil”? It starts in Columbia with the initial price of Cocaine in kilos, & how every stop of the way, the price doubles, quadruples, & so on.
Rewatched video, realized Masaya owns it all.
Great quality, but entirely too expensive.
Thank for watching Julie

1986 I sold my 75,000 acres in Costa Rica on The rio Colorado .It borders the Nicaraguan border .I sold it for 35,000,000 $ in 1979.Regan ran the contra wars from that property.
it cost me 1.25 million
Insane mae them about 20k
Beautiful, but not steel frame.
Wood frame
Sorry kerry, i saw the first comment about the price and i think its time i stop looking at adu's entirely.. Seems to be only for the rich. They talk about saving space, materials, time, labor, blah blah blah but it never reflects in the price.. its like the new gold rush lol. Whip out some super small adu's and give them some slight pazazz and walla! Sell it for a normal house price and $$$$🤑.
Adu's went from elon musks 50k house to 445,000 lmfao
Need fireproof housing. Insurance doesn't work anymore.
Glad to see it's not a complete monoculture, which can be as harmful for biodiversity.
A 2 bedroom is $445,000. What is wrong with these companies? Who is buying these and why?? What an absolute clown show.
California prices.
@moontreecollective6718 do you need a curs of cost accounting?
Ridiculous
OMG, what's wrong with YOU? These people are doing something innovative and commendable. Kerry strives to show a wide range of projects. This one may not be for you. Everything is not about YOU. Many of us here are interested in all types of concepts. If you can't appreciate something because it isn't for YOU, move on and Shut The F*ck Up.
Thats the price? Id be embarrassed af if i bought that lol.

Yeah you're only planting one type of tree though they can't be good for the environment in other words you need to be planting all the types of trees that are native to that land don't you understand what I'm saying you might look like it's okay like you okay but how does it help the ecosystem if it's only one type of tree it doesn't that's the answer to that question also it causes people to get allergies because these trees aren't supposed to be in this much abundance they're supposed to be you know an equal amount of this type of tree that type of tree in this type of tree you know what I mean like multitudes of trees different species of trees that's what they're supposed to be planting and that's how it is around here like people will plan a tree but they tend to only plant the pine tree and the pine tree is not the only tree that's native to this area you know it's Elm trees all kinds of trees oak trees people don't want to spend the money to plant native to the land trees
this was a great story thanks for doing the in depth look at Messia Homes.
